[Q] Selective focus more miss than hit

Is it just me or is selective focus not all its cracked up to be when shooting a toddler. I understand that they move around alot but even when my little one is standing still 9 times out of 10 I always get the message that focus could not be applied.

The way it blurs around the edges of the subject can also look a little underwhelming. I know that its not a full fledge SLR but i thought it may have been a little better.

I agree, it seems that the feature is designed to identify objects which drastically contrast from the background. For example a a yellow bottle on a white background mostly likely will yield a failure. However a red bottle on a white background would pick up more accurately. You have to mess around with the camera to learn how the selective focus works.
